For my mistake, blame me, not my religion, says Naira Marley

Naira Marley, the Nigerian singer, has taken to social media to emphasise the importance of forgiveness, particularly during the holy month of Ramadan.

In a post shared via X on Saturday, Marley highlighted that Islam emphasizes forgiveness, making it a “perfect religion”.

The singer also acknowledged that while the Islamic religion is “perfect and infallible,” its practitioners are “fallible and make mistakes.”

The ‘Chi Chi’ hitmaker urged his followers to separate their criticism of him from his faith.

“Islam is perfect, Muslims are not. If I make mistake, blame me, but not my religion,” he wrote.

Marley has been subjected to public criticism since the death of Mohbad, his former label signee.

However, last month, a magistrate court in Yaba dismissed charges against him, Sammy Larry, and Prime Boy over their alleged involvement in Mohbad’s death.

The Lagos DPP announced that it would prosecute Feyisayo Ogedengbe, the auxiliary nurse who treated Mohbad, and Ayobami Sadiq, one of the singer’s friends, for reckless and negligent acts.

For Zaynab, philanthropy is not a seasonal obligation or a public relations gesture; it is a way of life. True to her enduring spirit of generosity, she marked her birthday not with chandeliers and champagne, but with open arms and a giving heart—celebrating with the needy, the forgotten and the vulnerable.

From distributing food items and essential supplies to sharing warm embraces and reassuring words, she turned what could have been a private celebration into a communal blessing. For many beneficiaries, her presence was more precious than the gifts she brought. She did not merely give; she connected. She listened. She cared.
